2016 Audi S6 Trim Levels & Features

2016 Audi S6 Performance & mpg

A turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 powers the S6 that pump out 450 hp and 406 pound-feet of torque. The transmission is a seven-speed automated manual called “S ironic” that works in concert with the standard all-wheel-drive system.

When track testing, the S6 scorched the pavement, needing just 4.1 seconds to accelerate from zero to 60 mph. That’s serious speed.

Rear side airbags and a night-vision system are optional, as is a sophisticated Driver Assistance package that includes an active lane-departure warning/keeping system, adaptive cruise control and the Audi Pre-Sense Plus collision mitigation system, which warns the driver and can automatically activate the brakes and adjust the front seats for maximum protection if a crash is deemed imminent.

2016 Audi S6 Interior

It only takes a few moments inside the 2016 Audi S6 to realize that this is one of the nicest cabins on the planet. Highlights include a beautiful dashboard layout, top-quality materials and excellent fit and finish. The standard MMI infotainment system integrates the car’s entertainment, communication and navigation functions, which are controlled through a dash-mounted pop-up screen and an easy-to-reach knob-and-buttons layout on the center console. The system boasts logical menus, crisp graphics and a touchpad that lets you use finger movements to spell out addresses, search your contacts list and perform swipe commands, among other tasks.

The S6 also features Audi Connect online services, including an in-car WiFi hotspot with 4G LTE connectivity, Google Earth data for the navigation system and simplified Google search functionality for points of interest. The mobile WiFi allows passengers to access Web content on their mobile devices, and it proves very handy if you need to get work done on the road with no Starbucks in sight. The Google Earth feature is a mixed bag, however, as it’s a bit harder to understand at a glance than a conventional map display.

2016 Audi S6 Driving

The S6‘s 450 horses technically pit it against conventional sedans like the 445-hp BMW 550i. However, its astoundingly quick acceleration in our testing shows that it’s also a worthy substitute for German tuner cars like the 560-hp BMW M5 and 577-hp Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S — for potentially tens of thousands less. Moreover, the engine’s refinement is about as good as it gets, and the same goes for the automated manual transmission, which is equally content ripping off perfect rev-matched downshifts or just trundling around town.
